Vinari - S1-E24

Continuity mistake: In the close-up of putting the lids on the bottles, Mat's hands have 5 fingers (briefly done by a real person instead of the puppets). However, throughout the series, the duo is consistently 4-fingered - and that includes other close-ups that were also created with real hands briefly replacing the animation.

Stoking Rebellion - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: At the diner when Tsunoda and Retsuko are talking, Tsunoda pulls out a red phone with a white heart on it from her purse. In the close up she is pulling it out with her left hand and the phone is horizontal with the heart on its side. It then cuts to a wide angle and suddenly she's holding the phone upright with both hands.

Origins Part 1 - S1-E19

Pink Suds / King of the Swamp / Pink Pull - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: In "Pink Suds", at one point when the Pink Panther looks in the washer to check on his laundry load (which keeps disappearing once he dumps it in), he looks in from one side of the washer, but then at the camera angle change from the inside of the washer looking up, he is shown looking in from the opposite end from where he should be standing and looking in.

Yuusha wa futatabi - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, Nero pours himself some booze. There's a discontinuity between the two shots - he's got the bottle in hand all of a sudden and the glass is suddenly there. Additionally, throughout the scene the same glass appears and disappears and the bottle is turned in a direction and then the opposite multiple times. (00:01:55)

Sharkbait - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: To beat the traffic, Coop skateboards inside a construction pipe. The pipe is on the back of a truck, so it's not exactly very long, and gets picked up by a crane arm mounted on the truckbed itself. However, Coop takes ages to come out of the pipe, and in the shot from inside the pipe it looks as if is dozens of meters above the street level, which isn't. (00:08:00)

Parent Substitute - S1-E37

Continuity mistake: In the last classroom scene, the blue oval design on Gabby's cap appears and disappears between a few of the last shots of the scene, first when Vinnie runs up to Professor Q (because Rocket went ahead and switched both his and Gabby's test papers) and later when Professor Q was talking about how he was ∞ proud of Vinnie. (00:10:10)

Topsy Turvy - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When we see Alfred in the Batcave, he had 4 neat piles of playing cards and turns over an Ace. When Batman arrives, there's a shot of the cards, but the Ace is no longer turned over. When he makes the comment about seeing another playing card, the shot changes and there's now 5 piles but not in a neat pile.
